Have this permit in my pocket, feeling a little intimidated. I don’t know the area as well as I’d like, and the water works has thrown a wrench in my plans to change that all summer. Working out of state during the week hasn’t helped. Maps and imagery have become my new best friends.
Made a trip in August when the forecast finally called for a dry weekend. Woke up to rain falling on my face, 2:00 am, 3 miles from the truck. Perfect. The drive out was an ordeal. But I did find a couple of places that look worthwhile. And as always, the scenery didn’t disappoint.
Finally was free on a dry day yesterday so headed down to wander around. What I saw: scenery, birds, deer, sheep. What I didn’t: elk.
Windy, muddy, and warm isn’t ideal. Still, had a great day looking at beautiful country and shortened my list of spots to check.
Found a sheep superhighway along a ridge crest.
So far I’ve seen more sheep than elk. Maybe I’m doing it wrong. If only I had that tag...
